Abstract: The FLRW spacetimes can be realized as submanifolds of $mathbb{R}^6$. In this paper we relate the Laplace-Beltrami operator for an homogeneous scalar field $phi$ of $mathbb{R}^6$ to its explicit restriction on FLRW spacetimes. We then make the link between the homogeneous solutions of the equation $squar{e}_{6}phi=0$ in $mathbb{R}^6$ and those of the Klein-Gordon equation $(squar{e}_f-xi{R}^f+m^2)ph{i}^f=0$ for the free field $ph{i}^f$ in the FLRW spacetime. We obtain as a byproduct a formula for the Ricci scalar of the FRLW spacetime in terms of the function $f$ defining this spacetime in $mathbb{R}^6$.
